Abstract: This paper presents the process of image fusion, based on spectral correlative property. In the process of image fusion, frequency domain image fusions are more effective in coding compared to spatial domain fusion. In the process of frequency based fusion coding, wavelet approach is used in various formats to obtain spectral resolution and a fusion mapping is derived to map these resolution information. Wherein, spectral based fusion approach has higher significance of image coding accuracy, the resolution code overhead is observed. It is seen that, for larger resolution information’s, the retrieved accuracy of fusions higher, however the processing coefficients are large in count. To overcome this processing overhead issue, a new approach based on correlative band mapping approach is proposed. The evaluation result for the proposed approach illustrates a higher accuracy in fusion region prediction and mapping accuracy.
